Many people participate in religion "for the community." This motive can be better understood, first, by taking from the recent "social capital" literature the insight that social ties are economic assets, and second, by using the analytical tools of game theory to show how social capital can be interpreted as a matrix of interpersonal attitudes and expectations that facilitate cooperation in "reciprocity games." Among these attitudes and expectations are (a) stability of social ties or loyalty, (b) trust or expectation of reciprocation, and (c) altruism. Religions promote stable social ties through regular worship, and trust through the teaching of moral rules that serves as a behavioral filter. They also try to promote altruism but whether they succeed is not readily observable. However, an evolutionary argument suggests that natural selection will have favored religions that know how to encourage in their members altruism towards co-religionists, though not necessarily towards outsiders.

The main thesis advanced in this study is that altruism cannot be excluded from a well-being model, otherwise the model will not be able to reflect the actual capability of a society to acquire well-being. On one hand, the unclear importance of altruism in well-being is caused by the obscure relationship between altruism and transfer behaviour. On the other hand, some altruism models face limitations in their acceptance of the possibility of altruism being extended to people beyond family members. Through mathematical models, this study provides a solution to these problems in two ways. First, inspired by 'Varieties of altruism' from Phillip Kitcher in 2010, the relationship between psychological and behavioural altruism is precisely defined. Second, the imperfect information assumption is applied in the model.

The study of altruism and altruistic behavior has caught the attention of social scientists especially in recent years. What motivates individuals to cultivate attitudes and actions that promote the wellbeing of others at the expense of, or at the risk of negative consequences for their own? In our contemporary global society marked by conflict and violence among different sectors of the population in various regions of the world, and wherein religion can be a factor that exacerbates such conflict and violence, harnessing the power of religion towards directions of reconciliation, creativity, and altruistic action, remains a crucial task for humankind. This volume addresses a question especially relevant in our day: do people who profess religious commitment or affiliation in a particular religious community tend to nurture altruistic kinds of attitude and action more than others? Social scientists present results of their empirical studies on Japanese society, as well as on North American, European, Indian, and Thai societies, to focus on this issue and offer insightful reflections on the relationship between religion and society.

‘Giving’ time and money to the community indicates the existence of relationships that draw people together, and ‘who people give to’ indicates how inclusive these relational networks are. Using UK data for the analysis, Zischka argues that a person’s willingness to ‘give' is not only influenced by social cohesion; it also helps to generate social cohesion. For thriving communities, we therefore need to consider our ‘giving’ as well as our ‘getting’.

"A discussion of altruism, drawing on different disiplinary perspectives, could hardly be more timely, and this book is a thoughtful and insightful contribution to the debate." Ruth Chadwick - Distinguished Research Professor and Director, Cardiff University What motivates us to be altruistic? How did an altruistic trait evolve in humans, given that evolutionary theory assumes we are self-interested? What sorts of people are altruistic and in what circumstances? Is the welfare state a channel for altruism or does it crowd out people’s altruistic motivations? This accessible book is the first introduction to the idea of altruism. It explores how we have come to be altruistic, and considers why it is important to remain altruistic, not just for the sake of others, but in order maintain the fragile fabric of human society. The book surveys the history of the concept of altruism and examines it from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including moral philosophy, evolutionary biology, psychology, economics and political science. It then attempts to bring together the distinct issues and concerns of these disciplines to arrive at a unified understanding of altruism. The rational self-interested individual of economics is compared with the altruist who exhibits the virtues of empathy, compassion and benevolence. The book also discusses heroic altruism, such as that displayed by rescuers of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe, and psychological experiments which seek to identify the altruistic trait. Scott and Seglow argue that altruism is easily extinguished and hard to nourish, but vital for a fundamentally human future. Academics and students in social sciences and philosophy will find Altruism of great interest. So too will professionals in the voluntary and charitable sectors and journalists involved in communicating social scientific and philosophical ideas to the public.
